Eggplant And Potato Stew With Cumin Recipes

SPICY EGGPLANT & POTATO STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds. When they start to darken and give off their distinct aroma, add the eggplant and garlic. Sprinkle with salt. Sauté until the garlic starts to color.
• Add the potatoes and peppers. Sauté until the potato and eggplant are golden, the eggplant soft, and the peppers are browned in spots, about 10 minutes. Add the turmeric and ginger, a grind or two of black pepper and cook for one minute.
• Add the tomatoes, and squeeze the ¼ lemon over the pan. Cook until the tomatoes give off their juices but still have some shape. You can add a couple tablespoons of water or stock to accelerate this. Stir in the mint. Serve immediately with Basic Roast Chicken or baked fish.

EGGPLANT POTATO TOMATO STEW RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
• With a sharp knife, score a ring around each potato, just deep enough to break the skin. Place the potatoes in a medium pot of cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 8 minutes, until about halfway cooked.
• Drain the potatoes, and rinse with cold water. Peel off the skin.
• Cut the potatoes into ½-inch (1 cm) pieces and set aside.
• Divide the eggplant and bell peppers between 2 baking sheets and spread in an even layer. Drizzle with 4 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss with your hands to coat.
• Bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until semi-translucent.
• Add the tomato paste and stir until well distributed, then add the garlic, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¾ teaspoon pepper, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
• Add the potatoes, chickpeas, and tomatoes, and stir to incorporate.
• Stir in the vegetable broth and cover. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
• Add the roasted eggplant and bell pepper, and stir to combine. Cook for another 5-10 minutes, until the tomatoes have mostly broken down.
• Ladle into bowls, garnish with parsley, and serve. Or, transfer the stew to resealable containers and store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freezer for up to 3 months.
• Enjoy!

MOROCCAN-STYLE CHICKEN AND EGGPLANT STEW

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
• Place eggplant in a large bowl. Drizzle 1/4 cup olive oil over eggplant and toss to coat. Spread eggplant on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until eggplant is softened and browned, about 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, wide pot over medium-high heat; cook and stir onions and garlic until onions are softened, about 10 minutes. Stir paprika, kosher salt, coriander, fennel seeds, black pepper, cumin, ginger, and turmeric into onion mixture; cook and stir for 1 minute.
• Mix tomatoes, half of the reserved tomato juice, red bell peppers, white wine, and lemon juice into onion mixture; bring to a boil. Reserve the remaining tomato juice to thin the stew if needed.
• Arrange chicken in a single layer in the pot; cover with some of the tomato mixture. Return stew to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Flip chicken, cover, and simmer until no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Stir eggplant and marjoram into stew; simmer uncovered until heated through, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

• In large heavy pan, heat the oil with the bay leaf. When it is hot, add the onion, ground cumin, and ginger.
• Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are lightly colored, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the eggplant, potato, tomato and the liquid and gently combine with the onions.
• Season with salt.
• Cook over medium heat until the whole stew is thoroughly warmed and cooked.
• Stir in the yogurt and chopped cilantro, leaving marbled streaks throughout, and garnish with the whole cumin seeds and the cilantro leaves.

• Add eggplant and stir until well-coated with oil and spices and beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add wine, and bring mixture to a simmer. Add tomatoes and chickpeas and stir well. Bring mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to as low as possible. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 40 minutes.

EGGPLANT AND POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Slice the eggplants 1/4-inch thick, discarding the tops. Peel the potatoes or leave the skins on, and slice the potatoes 1/4-inch thick. Place the eggplant and potatoes in a large bowl and drizzle with the ghee. Toss with cumin, nigella, red-pepper flakes, cinnamon and 1 teaspoon salt.
• Lightly grease a 9-by-9-inch baking dish or similarly sized gratin dish with ghee, and place the gratin dish on a baking sheet.
• Add the tomatoes and garlic to the baking dish, season with salt and toss to combine. Arrange the eggplant and potato slices on top, alternating between the two vegetables.
• In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs and Parmesan. Sprinkle the mixture over the sliced vegetables.
• Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover, and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the top turns golden brown. Let the dish cool for 5 minutes before serving.

QUICK AND HEARTY EGGPLANT STEW

Steps:

• Partially skin eggplant and cut into cubes; set aside.
• Mix curry powder, coriander, garam masala, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl; set aside.
• Start rice: bring beef stock, scallions, and ginger to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in rice and kosher salt. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Continue with stew: coat the bottom of a heavy pan with oil. Add onion and garlic and warm over medium heat until aromatic, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stir eggplant into the onion mixture; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 6 minutes. Remove cover and stir in tomatoes; simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Stir in black beans and 1/2 of the scallions; the stew should be pretty thick at this point because of the tomatoes.
• Add 1 cup beef stock and stir in spice mix. Boil, stirring occasionally, for several minutes. Add up to 1 cup more beef stock as the stew cooks down to get the thickness you desire. About 1 minute before serving, stir in cilantro and remaining scallions to add flavor throughout.
